Minister Tjahjos Controversies

HOME Affairs Minister Tjahjo Kumolo sparked yet another controversy when he issued a regulation imposing stricter requirements for research permits.

Many see the move as a reign on academic freedom as the government may be able to arbitrarily set the criteria for negative impacts.

Young coconut shell was on the lunch menu of Fransisca Patatcot and her son on Saturday two weeks ago.

When the coconut shell was finished, she began eating the husk.
